  2. Green iguanas and savannah monitors
  3. Chameleons and water monitors

Why: A Texas A&M veterinary technician names bearded dragons and leopard geckos as beginner lizards. Beginner does not mean maintenance-free, so research the habitat, diet, and adult care each species needs.

Huh, didn't know that: The same expert ranks Chinese water dragons and blue-tongue skinks as intermediate lizards, a step up in care.
